Asked by:
Sarah Champion (Labour)

Over this spending review period, we are providing £100m of dedicated funding to tackle Violence Against Women and Girls.

EU funding is provided to projects themselves as opposed to countries or government departments. Information requested which relates to projects which have secured funding can be found at http://ec.europa.eu/justice/grants1/closed-calls/index_en.htm.

As part of wider Brexit work being taken forward, the Department for Exiting the European Union (DExEU) is leading a cross-Government policy coordination team in order to examine funding issues and gauge views across Government on the preferred negotiations approach to EU funding programmes.
